[Vibrant Themes and Apps] ultra spikey:
Here's a quick How-To on applying a Metamorph. When it comes to themes, I prefer using Metamorphs over flashable zips. Metamorphs flash only the files that need to be flashed. Where flashable zips flash ALL files inside the .apk. This could potentially cause overwriting critical system files with older or corrupted files.

Step 1

Download MetaMorph from the Market.

Step 2

Download the MetaMorph file of your choice and place on your sdcard.

Step 3

Open the MetaMorph app(Allow Root access). Select "Unzip/Extract new theme".

Step 4

Go to the folder where you put your metamorph files and select the one you want to apply.

Step 5

If you want to apply everything in the morph, then select apply all. MetaMorph will then begin to run through the process of applying the images to your .apk's. This will take a while if there are a lot of .apk's to be skinned.

Step 6

Once MetaMorph has gone through the process of applying the theme, You are done. Unless you applied a morph which has framework-res.apk in it, then you will have to reboot your phone, then you are done.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] soberarmy:
can i metamorph any zip file or does it have to be a special zip file specific for metamorph-ing. I usually flash all my themes thru cwm.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] negativedrew:
CWM-flashable zips and MetaMorph zips are totally different. You can not flash and MM zip and you cannot MM a flashable zip.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] ultra spikey:
You don't need to.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] cccheel:
Go back?

Once you flash a Metamorph theme, how to you revert back if you don't like int?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] ultra spikey:
The themer you got your theme from would have to provide a separate morph to revert back to stock.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] mrgibson260:
Hey buddy how comes it takes so.long and how long does it takes to change the theme
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cetus Corr:
How do I fix this...? When installing an app that isn't from the market, I get this message, "problem parsing package."
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Twolazyg:
Download it again, it's probably a corrupt file. Get it from another source.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aqualls:
I get that occasionally with titanium backup. Usually when I get stupid and try to restore from very different rom.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PMGRANDS:
I also get that at times, Like the Other Post said Try to get it from somewhere else! What is it maybe I can Upload it for you, I have Tons of Apps!
[Nook Color General] utdps:
I used AutoNooter 3.0 on my gf's NookColor, and everything went great, but I set up all the logins under my accounts since she was gone. When she got back, I deregistered my account so I could set up her account. I accidentally left the SD card in, so I'm not sure if that's where my troubles came from. Now, youtube won't open, Gmail won't refresh, and the market is not downloading apps.

It looks like I could use ADB to get these fixed, but I can't for the life of me get ADB working even after following the exact steps. I've tried reflashing, but it's still remembering the wifi password and behaving the same way.

Do I have to do that 8 times reboot step, or is there something else I can do since it seems rooted to me except for the google apps?
[Nook Color General] utdps:
Got it running. For anyone having this same issue in the future, here's what I did:

Erased and Deregistered

Reburned the .img onto the SD card

Reflashed

It was actually pretty simple. Now I just need to get to 10 posts so I can post in the development thread in the future.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ablang:
I just bought a new unlocked HTC MyTouch 3G from Newegg this past President's Day weekend,

"contract free". The specs list it as having Android OS v1.5:

newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875502055&cm_re=mytouch_3g-_-75-502-055-_-Product

I intended to just use my existing T-Mobile prepaid account and just enjoy the phone using wi-fi. The problem is, I cannot log into Google using the phone b/c I don't even see wi-fi as an option. One of the big reasons I bought this phone was to use wi-fi to get my apps. I don't need 3G service.

So what can I do?

HTC MyTouch 3G unlocked (white) w/ 3.5mm jack
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
This phone doesn't offer the option of enabling wifi to login to your Google account during the startup. It also won't let you get into the ROM without logging in. You should be able to purchase a one-day data plan with your prepaid SIM for $2 from the activation menu to get logged in. Everything else after that you will be able to use wifi for. If, for whatever reason, you need to do a factory reset in the future, you'll have to do the same thing again.

EDIT: Secondly, I highly suggest reading through this post to learn a little bit about your phone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] thedudejdog:
there are ways around the Google sign in. just search Google I did it on my friends Droid. I think you tap the 4 corners of the screen in a certain order
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Not for this phone there isn't.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] thedudejdog:
isn't is a four letter word.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
? I fail to see the point in this post.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] thedudejdog:
I'm trying to say where there's a will there's a way
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] thedudejdog:
have you tried this?

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/4260-cant-get-60-to-work-with-gapps-mt3g/
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
That's still talking about the four corners trick which doesn't work on stock ROMs, and that's also talking about a custom ROM which a totally different ball game. If he was to root, he could simply bypass the login screen by hitting home and enable wifi, but where he's sitting at right now he'd have to use the goldcard method (which means having to borrow a friends phone running Android to make the goldcard) which is a lot more time consuming then just dropping two dollars on a day pass.

Yes, where there's a will there's a way, but in this case the way is the one I provided. Trust me, I've been heavily involved with this device for a while now (well in electronics time).
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] thedudejdog:
alright, I surrender to your superior advice. I agree I know nothing about the mt3g or GSM android phones.

all I know is that the 4 corners trick worked on my friends OEM Droid and I suggested that it may also work on the mt3g.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ablang:
Funny thing is, once I was able to borrow a friend's SIM that has a data plan associated to it, and login to Google on the phone, the wi-fi was then available.
[Atrix 4G General] psufan5:
Far better than the apps on the market. It gives real speed of your web connection. I was getting 1.2 -1.5 down on the speed test app when http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ was giving me 4.1ish.
[Atrix 4G General] jeremy81:
The speedtest.net app has been extremely unreliable for me. When I use it I get a download speed of 800k. If i use a browser based test even from speedtest.net I get 3mbps. The app also lowers my wifi speeds from 5.2mbps to about 3-4. Ping times are also affected.
[Atrix 4G General] 1BadHEMI:
use www.testmy.net for accurate tests. Make sure you select the mobile tests
[Atrix 4G General] neer2005:
Just ran this on my 3GS and I get 3.3mbps on wifi which is impossible considering speedtest.net shows a 30mbps down connection

EDIT : Speak Easy also reports around 30mbps, tried running TestMy on my wired computer and it runs around 14mbps, It seems crippled.
[Atrix 4G General] 1BadHEMI:
You ran the Speedtest.net on your computer. It will be much slower on the 3GS.

Also, when using the test suite, make sure you select the mobile version, www.testmy.net/mobile

Also select the AUTO option. For comparison, my Verizon Fios connection get 28MB/s download and 27MB/s upload over my laptop using wireless-N 5GHz. Testmy.net gives me the same readings (this is with a XBOX 360 in the background playing COD: Black Ops (hardwired), and my wife upstairs on her laptop playing Cafe' World on the same network band). With nothing else running, my connection is usually spot on 35/35. On my Evo, I get 7.7Mbps download speed. Wireless N but at the 2.4GHz radio. I think when I had my 3GS it was about the same on the Wireless G.

Using the Speedtest app on my phone, I get about 13 downl and 7 up...
[Atrix 4G General] neer2005:
Yeah on Speedtest.net app on my iphone on Verizon FiOS I get around 18mbps down with the stock wireless G router. I tried TestMy and it shows a 3.3mbps connection on my iPhone. Both Speedtest and SpeakEasy show a 30mbps down on the wired desktop while TestMy shows only 14down its weird.
[Atrix 4G General] pemican:
I'm new to smart phones. The Atrix is my first one. I apologize for asking what may be a very trivial question, but I simply don't know much about apps and services and costs associated with them.

I'm interested in GPS navigation services that I can use with my phone. There is a default app on the Atrix called AT&T Navigation. Is this linked to the AT&T navigation service that costs $9.99 per month?

I don't want to spend a lot of money on a subscription because I don't need driving directions very often. Are there any navigation services that do not require a monthly subscription? Free would be ideal. A low cost per use might do. A monthly subscription service doesn't fit my needs.
[Atrix 4G General] neer2005:
Google maps
[Atrix 4G General] StyleUkno:
Just use the navigation app on there or the maps app
[Atrix 4G General] oFUNGUSo:
well, i personally cant get the navigation app to lock on and work for the freaking life of me. not sure what the prolem is, it just stays loading forever, showing something like "accessing navigation services" or something similar.

my GPS test app does show me locking onto satelites and being accurate within about 16 or 17 feet though
[Atrix 4G General] Gr8Danes:
Mine did that at first, then after reloading the app or rebooting, it worked. Not sure what it was looking for.
[Atrix 4G General] oFUNGUSo:
yeah i just tried it again.....and it loaded up right away but the app still didnt lock onto the gps for about 3 minutes
[Atrix 4G General] blazablaz:
Are u using it with the wifi on or off. I use mine without the wife and im get locks quickly down to 2 meters. you could try that.
[Atrix 4G General] wade7919:
I used the Maps and got a lock within seconds and its showing location of where i'm at down to within 1 foot.
[Atrix 4G General] AnyMal:
I prefer to use mine with the wife; it's more fun :D

Make sure you have the latest version of Maps (5.1 IIRC) from the market. I had the exact same issue but updating Maps fixed it.
[Atrix 4G General] oFUNGUSo:
HA! good call, it needed an update. i appreciate you!
[Atrix 4G General] pemican:
The first hint of an answer I can understand. From the above statement, I infer that Maps is an application that one can obtain from the market. I assume the Market icon that appears on my phone is what is referred to.

When I click on the Market icon, it directs me to create a Google account. Bummer. I'm not all that interested in creating multiple new accounts to use this phone (motoblur, google, what next?)

Sent in grammatically and syntactically correct standard English from my 8x10 Deardorff using silver halide emulsion technology.
[Atrix 4G General] AnyMal:
I am not sure why you're bothered by the need to create a Google account to fully utilize this phone. What's wrong with having a one-stop-shop for all your contacts, calendars, messages, app purchases? Having this account simplifies your life beyond what a PC can do for you since everything is stored in the "cloud", and should you choose to change your device once you'll log in to your new phone all that data will follow you automatically eliminating the need to ever connect your phone to a computer. Anyways, if you want to download apps from the Market you'll need a Google account, plain and simple.
[Atrix 4G General] pemican:
What bothers me the most is the need for yet another account, payment method, and email address to keep track of. I already manage around two dozen personal email accounts and I have several ways to pay for services online. The more email addresses one has, the more spam one must deal with. The more payment methods one has, the more fraud risk one is exposed to.

Besides that, I don't want any contacts associated with an account I use for payments. It appears that I'll have to set up a google account so I can use the Android Market. I hope I can avoid having it disclosed to anyone else.
[Atrix 4G General] neer2005:
Do you not have a Gmail account that you use for email?
[Atrix 4G General] pemican:
I do not currently have a Gmail account. But it appears I'm going to end up with one.
[Atrix 4G General] neer2005:
Yeah, but thats with any smartphone. You would need an account for the Apple App Store, Blackberry App World, etc. Nothing to be bummed about though
[Atrix 4G General] lesterp:
I felt the same way initially. Now with all my shi up on google's cloud I couldn't be happier.
[Atrix 4G General] pemican:
Here is something to consider about the decision to have a google account.

The Dark Side of the New Android Market
[HD7 General] JosepHenry:
Firs off Im sorry if this doesnt belong here but I didnt know where else to post it. I have an HD7 (obviously) but I really wanted an HD2. I have a classmate in my econ class that is willing to trade me his HD2 for my HD7. But my question is would it be reasonable to also ask for some cash since my HD7 is not only permantely developer unlocked but also SIM unlocked? If so how much cash could I ask for?
[HD7 General] rich2thad:
I would ask at least one hundred with the trade simply because the hd2 is old now and the hd7 although is similar its newer and will have different development and updates real soon
[HD7 General] carmeng4evr:
Sorry as much as I love My hd7 and windows phone 7, asking for 100 bucks is a ripoff....and i'm sure the dude will likely laugh in your face(unless he doesn't know his phones)

Hell, I laughed when i read the 100 bucks suggestion(not being rude but it was funny lol)

Windows mobile on it's own is a great OS as it is....And it has a lot of features that you can't currently find in Windows phone 7

Couple in the fact that you can now run Android AND Windows phone 7 along with Windows Mobile, it's on par if not better

If the HD2 is old, then the HD7 is old.

Same Processor

Same Body

Same Camera

Same Exact phone pretty much

1)Except different OS/Ui

2)And more buttons on the hD2

So do a fair trade but my question is...Why do you want an HD2?
[HD7 General] Audio:
Regardless of what you can/can't do with either phone or peoples opinions on either device, the HD2 is a cheaper device. Perhaps the HD7 should not be "worth" more than the HD2, but at the end of the day it is.

Although i'd say 100$ is a bit much, i certainly wouldn't begrudge you taking at least a bit of cash for the swap, if not only for the fact it is a much younger device
[HD7 General] carmeng4evr:
How is it cheaper.
[HD7 General] hukkguai:
I think you should ask for some money for it as the HD7 is a more expensive device. Regardless of what people argue of what the HD2 can do or that it might be the same specs and whatnot, the HD7 retails for more new and sells for more used (check eBay). I wouldn't just go in on an even trade unless you just really want the HD2 that bad.
[HD7 General] Audio:
Bingo. And anybody who says otherwise is in denial.

As I said before, it's not about what people think the phone should be worth, at the end of the day it's what they RRP/sell for that is the deciding factor.
[HD7 General] carmeng4evr:
Guess im in denial. Lmao it retails for more because its a completely different OS aka newer. The hd2 has been out for a long time with windows mobile and the hd7 has only been out with windows phone 7 for months.

Still no regards to how it is cheap because it is the same exact phone. I've owned both

If you ask for cash then ask for cash based on OS not on hardware
[HD7 General] jimbonics:
Even trade, imo, and maybe the HD2 owner can ask for cash. While it doesn't have capacitive buttons, it's a sturdier design imo. Not to mention the 'tinkerers dream' aspect.

Having owned both, however, I wouldn't go back to the HD2.
[HD7 General] carmeng4evr:
Likewise
[HD7 General] Audio:
lol this is madness!

Take this conversation and put it into any other situation involving different products and you'd be sentenced to life in a mental facility.

Take the automotive industry. We'll replace the phones with cars.

A new Dodge Viper comes out (HD7), new design (exterior) and a new quicker engine (OS). Everything else remains the same. John Smith bought one but realised he doesn't like the new engine and prefers the old one. So he finds Joe Bloggs who's got the old Version of a Dodge Viper (HD2) and offers a trade for the new one (HD7). Joe Bloggs says he'll do it, but rather than just swapping his old Dodge Viper (HD2) for a New one (HD7), he wants a further £10,000.

This is essentially what you guys sound like.
[HD7 General] jimbonics:
Analogies don't always translate well, such as cars vs. phones.

Same processor, same camera, same memory. Obviously the OS is much nicer, but WP7 has been successfully ported over to the HD2. Aside from a kickstand, physical camera button, and touch capacitive buttons (and crappier speaker?), taking the OS out of the equation, try and make a compelling reason why someone would choose the HD7 over the HD2.

Playing devils advocate here a little, as I personally wouldn't give up my HD7 for an HD2.
[HD7 General] Audio:
Age :)

You stated my analogy didn't work but it fits perfectly into what you've just said :)

Look, let's get one thing straight. I'm NOT saying that the HD7 is the better phone out of the two and haven't done at any point. The OP is basically asking if the HD7 costs more than the HD2, and the answer is yes. End of.

Go into any shop, search any website, browse any market, it's more expensive than the HD2.
[HD7 General] elecconnec:
Right now on the T-Mo USA website, HD7 is $499 unsubsidized, $99 w/2 year contract. HD2 is $449 unsub, $49 with two year.

HD7 is, therefore, $50 "better" in the real world. I don't think the OP would be unfair asking for $50. Worst case scenario, the HD2 owner says no.
[HD7 General] carmeng4evr:
Lol ask for the fifty bucks. Im dying to see what his response will be

I still really have not read a reason to justify asking for cash

But hey maybe the other guy is an uniformed sap lol
[HD7 General] Audio:
What do you mean u haven't read a reason to justify asking for cash?!?

Is the post just above yours invisible to you or something? Or do we all need to be mental for you to understand?
[HD7 General] carmeng4evr:
Lmao audio is it really THAT serious haha.

I don't go by suggested retail completely because different retailers charge different prices and what not. I would just use the suggested retail as a starting point.

At the end of the.day, the phones are nearly the same in every aspect aside from the software on top and cosmetic differences.

I've yet to read any thing that proves that it be right to.charge or ask for money to balance it out

If this was an evo for an hd2 or hd7, I could see someone saying I would need more cash because my evo is worth more. An evo, has nearly the same look of an hd7 more than a Hd2.....yet it has enough differentiating features to warrant charging someone extra money....despite the fact that at full retail, the hd7 costs more.

As it stands, an hd2 trade for an hd7 is a fair even trade.

But at the end of the day its my opinion
[HD7 General] coldest~~~:
I just traded my hd2 for a hd7 with no cash on top..That guy really wanted android...after a week, I traded the hd7 for a mint hd2 with $70 on top. So I think I just got free money just by trading on phones around..:)

Sent from HTC HD2 with Android
[HD7 General] carmeng4evr:
Lol.thats good I guess
[HD7 General] DBOWNIZZ:
Yea good thing you got SOME cash for it cause no matter if the phones are "alike" the point of the matter is The HD7 is "newer" so it cost more money due to the retail value of it therefore making the HD7 worth more then the HD2.

But I bet here in the near future both phones will be worth around the same.

Hd2 FTW...I love to customize my shizzzz
[HD7 General] THUDUK:
Hd2 can run Android, wp7 and window mobile for sure, but when it comes to running anything other than its original os windows mobile, you have to rely on xda developers for updates and development on the device, it will never run android and wp7 perfectly like a native device will, ok it runs them extremely well, but with plenty of teething problems, will the hd2 get nodo update who knows, hd7 will, I own a hd2 would be trading up to an hd7 if I can't get updates to run and I would pay £50 on top, the hd7 has better multi touch compatibility, and has the same amount of buttons as one os a dedicated camera button, still if you love tinkering and don't want warranty protection and official updates then its a great device.

I know this topic was previously discussed, but when I tried to search for it .. I was unable to find it.

I am running Vegan 5.1b and have had very few problems/complaints. Once I did the market fix and got LPP to load... very happy.

However, I recently went out of town on a business trip and loaded a bunch of .avi movies I ripped into a folder on my external SDCARD. Confirmed they were on there and viewable from within the GTAB when I inserted the SDCARD into the Tab. I plugged it in to charge overnight.. took the gTab with me.. got on the plane.. oops... no movies in the folder. Folder was still there, but completely empty.

So.. I remember reading about this mysterious memory loss.. what happened and how do I prevent it from happening again.

thanks,

Scrubb
[G Tablet General] shackf16:
I had the same problem with Vegan Tab as well. Same scenario and everything - very disappointed when I got on the plane and had no movies on SDcard. I recently switched to TnT Lite and I can confirm it does not lose the movies. Can't remember what the idea was on why they were being dumped, but movie playback was a big reason I got the Gtab. Once the file drop issue is resolved, I will go back to Vegan.

Cheers,

Shack
[G Tablet General] mercdoc:
I am right there with you. if i put movies on my external sdcard and my tablet goes to sleep or shuts off the movies seem to vanish. I normally play each movie for a few seconds to make sure all is good before I shutdown or let it fall asleep. So I know they were there b4.

On another set of ideas ... you made a back-up with what? Do you have Amonra's custom recovery installed ?

If you do you could just manually go into it ( Vol down + Home + Power ) and then reinstall your ROM :P.
